Need help putting shifter into gear box I cant move shifter I only put 2 quarts fluid manuel

transmission it takes 2.6 could that be it ???

 

Why are you putting fluid through the shifter?
You should still be able to move the shifter with the car off even without fluid (I mean, you shouldn't, but you can). If it doesn't go in or doesn't move, something is jammed. You might have to give a bit more detail about what it's doing.

 

you can put oil into the transmission that way, but I generally don’t recommend it

it appears to be in gear, try moving the selector to get it into the centered neutral position
.

 

I just changed the clutch pressure plate, fork, throw-out, and friction disk, had to do myself I'm in a bad spot I put everything together, but the shifter won't go in unless I push the rod forward but then it stays stuck like in first, car turns on pedal feels ok unsure should I bleed again? should I not move rod forward? the shifter should sit in that hole right?

 

i did move to middle but when i set in place it will not move from there

 

and by hand i can only get it to move forward or back

 

Is the clutch working??

 

no still cant get stick into position in gear box its look of center

 

I forfot this is i supposed to be in between trans and pressure plate

 

OH MY GOD...............

The above comment is simply a social expression of surprise or bewilderment,
nothing to do with anyone's belief in other nonearthly thinking...

 

oof

 

All kidding aside, you gotta give the guy some credit, he did come out with information
I'm not sure I would have given.................

EvilMileodus: Keep the faith and good luck on the repair....

 

The original bearing should still be there so not installing that one is unlikely to be your problem.
Reading your posts though, I'm struggling to understand your explanation of what is going on.

 

The only thing that needs more help than the transmission is your typing. I am not that picky but this is giving me brain cancer.

No one can even understand what you are saying. If you can't talk, at least show some pictures.

 

It s-s-s-soundds like UnknownJinX had a bad day. (He may be in for a bad night here ..)
He may have forfotten that this is a place where cars, their problems, and their enjoyment are discussed
not the points of typo errors and spelling errors. (If I didn't use a spell check here, this guy would be all over me.)
Sometimes I leave the errors in just to get a reaction... Let's hope he has a better day tomorroww.

 

It's almost like you didn't read the part I said I'm not that picky.

There is a difference between "Oh it's just a couple of small errors" and "i putz 0 effot in i me pozt si ppl don undestan mee"

For the OP, well...

 

Jinx, you think English could be his second language?

Lighten up, bro.

 

I'm not gonna delve into it too much at this point. If you can read and comprehend it, whatever. Somehow, I don't think I'm the only one having trouble.

 

Hi, I hate to say it but your gearbox needs to come back out of the car.
The clutch install is bad. the bearing shown in pictures above is the pilot bearing, the goes in the back of the "crank"/ "excentric shaft" and in the center of the flywheel.
Then did you torque the pressure plate blots to the flywheel, if not this is your selection of gears problem.
The throw out bearing is installed correctly and the gearbox input splines and bearing slides are lightly greased.
2L approx to 2.5/6L is about the right amount of fluid.

 

With the fluid capacity, you are supposed to fill the transmission until the fluid comes out of the fill bolt hole, which is hard to see if you are doing it through the shifter in the car.

Definitely don't underfill it. Take the fill plug out so you can see if you are at the right level.

I don't understand why some of you guys are harping on the amount and procedure
used in the filling of a transmission. Please, Please, go back and really read the thread to understand
what is going on here and maybe (yes, I said maybe) make suggestions that might be of help... The picture of the round thingy
the OP admitted leaving out should tell you the story.. I see this often on this site where a critical clue is overlooked..
I am active on a couple of other "car" discussion sites and this site, while very informative, (I've really learned a lot about a very strangely designed car) it takes a work separating the chaff from the wheat... I have always suspected that the members here
are a bit younger and newer here then on the forums for Alfa Romeo and Jaguar......
I have also noticed that some here bought a RX8 as their first ever car... Which is amazing given the unorthodox design of the
engine and the complexity of the systems.... I"m glad to give credit where credit is due..
Yeah I mess up sometimes. When I do my creditably takes a hit. When you do, yours takes a hit too......
BTW: There's no animosity here, this is just informational........

Duck incoming...............

Maybe the low fluid level is not the problem, but it is a problem that needs to be addressed when the clutch is addressed, anyway. If the car isn't getting into gear, the low fluid level definitely isn't doing any favours.

There is no law saying there can only be one thing wrong with a car at the same time, after all.

That's true but after many years trouble shooting problems on complex systems, the first rule to
fixing a broken complex system is "Fix the first (obvious) fault" you come across. Keep it simple.
Quiet often fixing the most obvious error fixes a lot of the other problems.

In this particular case I get the impression that the transmission is not attached to a running engine,
He's just trying to get the shifter rods to move with his finger.
The having of the correct amount of fluid plays no part here.....
